ODBC Invalid DNS Error

I try and remove an entry from ODBC administrator, USER
DSN tab, and i get the error, INVALID DSN.
how can i remove this entry?I had this same problem and after a little searching found a fix at e.ms/archive86-2004-3-446049.html" target="_blank">http://www.mcs

Here it is:
ODBC entries are controlled in the registry. I would suggest using
regedt32 or regedit (if you are on Win 20003/XP), and go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC and try adding full control permissions
for the affected user/groups, replacing the values in the subkeys. Good
luck.

It took a little bit of fighting in my case to get it to take, but when it d
id I logged out then back in and it worked like a charm.
